SHIRT.

To all whom it may concern Be it lmown that I, HENRY C. BERRYMAN, acitizen of the United States, residing at Brooklyn, in the county ofKings and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvementsin Shirts, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to shirts, and more especially to shirts carryingcertain new and useful attachments, such as suspensories or otherappliances beneficial for medical or surgical purposes, as will be morefully described in the following specification, set forth in the claimand illustrated in the drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a front view of ashirt partly broken away showing the improvement applied thereto. Fig. 2is a front view of a shirt as it appears from the outside.v Fig. 3 showsa modified form of arrangement.

In the use of articles for surgical and medicinal purposes and adaptedto be worn by the patient, the application of these appliances issomewhat difiicult on account of the use of strips and otherattachments.

This invention provides for carrying and locating certain surgicaldevices in a convenient and comfortable manner as shown in the drawingsand where it will be seen that an ordinary shirt is used made of anydesired material and having woven within its front suspensory 5 of theusual type and which may be also used for carrying medicines and healingpreparations for the use of the wearer. While a suspensory is thusshown, it is obvious that the device may be so modified as to use it forthe purposes and in the manner above specified, and when thus locatedthe device is given the proper support and hung from the shoulders,doing away with the serious inconvenience experienced by strapping orotherwise securing the device around the body of the wearer.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed November 15, 1911.

Patented Aug. 11, 1914.

Serial No. 660,491.

In the modified form shown in Fig. 3, the device is applied to a coatshirt and made integral with one side thereof. The outer end or flap 6of the suspensory is carried over to the other side of the shirt andbuttoned thereto. This provides for the ready and convenient arrangementof the suspensory when applying to a shirt of this character. It ispreferable, however, that no buttons or other attachments be used 011account of their irritating nature. The front of the shirt presents itsusual appearance and is provided with nothing which will irritate thewearer, and the suspens'ory may be secured at the desired point eitherby weaving it with the balance of the shirt or stitching same to theshirt as desired.

It is obvious that the shirt may be other wise modified in thisconstruction to provide for a more comfortable or cheaper arrangement ofthe buttoned parts without departing from the essential features abovedescribed.

Vhat I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is,

In combination with a shirt, a pouch having an opening, an edge portionof the pouch being attached with the shirt at the inner side thereof,the pouch also having a free edge portion which lies between the innerside of the shirt and that portion of the pouch which is provided withthe opening the portions of the pouch being so proportioned that thesaid opening normally lies opposite the inner side of the shirt andbetween the free and attached edge portions of the pouch.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
